Alpha Gal Friendly No-Cook Fruit Salad
Bright, juicy, and bursting with color, this no-cook fruit salad is the kind of dish that makes a table look like a celebration without any real effort. Strawberries, watermelon, kiwi, blueberries, grapes, and pineapple all come together in one big bowl, hitting every note from sweet to tart. The real magic is the dressing ā just honey, fresh lime juice, and a little lime zest whisked together until smooth, then poured over the fruit for a glossy, citrusy finish. Fresh mint scattered on top adds a cool, herby lift that takes the whole thing from simple to genuinely impressive. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, this recipe is a natural fit because every single ingredient is plant-based, meaning there's no mammalian meat, dairy, or gelatin to worry about. No cooking, no substitutions, no stress ā just whole fruit and pantry staples doing all the work. It's equally at home as a light dessert, a brunch centerpiece, or a refreshing side on a warm afternoon.
